Regarding this game, I just don't have a good feeling for picking the Chargers. Their 25th in 2008 in rushing this year and their going against a good Steelers defense. West coast teams tend to have trouble when they travel across country. I know Big Ben is banged up, etc...but I'll go with my gut here and pick the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wave your terrible towels Steeler fans!

This guy is looking like the 2008 draft’s Marques Colston.
3. Steve Breaston (ARZ)—Let’s be honest here: Breaston was a great RETURNER at Michigan. As a receiver, he left a lot to be desired. However, when Anquan Boldin went down early this season, Breaston stepped up his game and is now playing the best football of his life. Twice he’s eclipsed the century mark, and another two times he’s had over 75 yards receiving. In fact, he’s played so well that he’ll remain a large part of the game plan from this point on, even with Boldin back in the lineup.

As you probably have figured out, seahawkaddicts.com has become my new top priority in terms of Seahawks blogging, but I'll continue to keep this one breathing as I see necessary.
But enough of that. The Seahawks' opening exhibition game in Minnesota on Friday night went as well as it ever could've -- a few expected mistakes carrying the intention of working out the kinks in the system, but largely a commanding and convincing performance.

It's finally official -

training camp, there are always a lot of question marks for a team in a rebuilding phase. The 2008 Atlanta Falcons are no exception. Will Matt Ryan start week 1? Is Sam Baker an elite (or even starting) left tackle at the NFL level? Looking beyond these common questions, however, lies another set of questions, the resolution to which will go as far as any other in determining the Falcons success in

It appears the Seahawks have signed long snapper Tyler Schmitt to a 4-year deal, according to Jose Romero at the Seattle Times.
This dissuades rumors that Schmitt underperformed at the minicamps earlier this month, and proves the coaching staff believes that they're not about to sign another Boone Stutz (which is a separate post all by itself.)

After a disappointing season in San Francisco and subsequently being cut by the team, Darrell Jackson looks like he's found a good fit with the Denver Broncos.
According to a Denver Post story recounted by Clare Farnsworth of the PI, Jackson was apparently staying after practice on a few occasions, and seemed very content to be doing so.

Mike Holmgren sat out on today's practice due to a reported minor medical procedure, and is expected back for tomorrow's workout. Gil Haskell took the helm in Holmgren's absence.

Clare Farnsworth at the Seattle PI seems to agree with my musings about all things Logan Payne, if yesterday's minicamp was any indication.
"With leading receiver Bobby Engram still a no-show in hopes of getting a contract extension and starting flanker Deion Branch still recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, the Seahawks passing game is in the hands of Nate Burleson and a foursome that has become known as "the young guys" -- Payne and recent late-round draft choices Ben Obomanu (2006) and Courtney Taylor and Jordan Kent (2007)."

Today marks the start of an eight-practice Seahawks minicamp that's to be spread out over the next two weeks, and also the start of a vow to myself to update this goddamned blog more often. Being unemployed certainly has its merits, but that's another story...

Tomorrow (Tuesday, May 20th) at 5pm PST, Kevin Durant will have the honor of representing the Sonics at the NBA Draft Lottery. The Supes have a great chance of obtaining the number One overall selection (19.9% to be exact). Here's a look at what they may do if they get the #1 pick.
